      Long story why -

      In older days some users or customers were choosing i386 because its more smooth and liquid as the
      amd64Bit image, that was for a short decade perhaps matching. But not as today! Earlier or later, I
      mean perhaps earlier as we can expect it, the i386 aka 32Bit image will be gone or will be not longer
      maintained anymore. And if there will be a 64Bit hardware in the "game" you should also take the
      64Bit pfSense image as well because, and that is surely only an intense of me, the 32Bit image will
      be perhaps then not really actual and supporting all kind of diferent 64bit hardware, and then or
      often, there will be perhaps occurring something that can not really by explained and solved out.
      And this can be a failure, an issue or a malfunction likes described here in that thread, for sure it
      is not a must be! And this is since something around two or more years the mainstream or most
      common method. If your hardware is 64 bit capable, only use the 64 bit version

      but is i368 image broken or somehow not supported in 64bit hardware?

      If there is a 32Bit driver that is not able to handle some 64Bit hardware it could cause an
      issue that is not seen anymore together with an installed 64Bit version, where proper 64Bit
      drivers are play nice together with the real 64Bit hardware.

      And true - it's APU board (used to be Alix)

      Alix boards are 32Bit boards and the newer APU and APU2 series are real 64Bit boards.
      In my opinion you could try out a 64Bit pfSense image and play back your saved config.xml
      file that is able to save now on the 32Bit system. And lets see what is going on then. Would
      be in my eyes the best way to walk.

        I have the same problem with pfSense 2.3 on dell poweredge 2900.
        In virtualized pfsenses (vmware 5) this problem does not occur.

          Ha - Friday again and total freeze in my pfSense 2.3 on APU1 with 32bit image!

          I'm switching to 64bit image and hope to see what happens…

            Hey guys…  (and by guys I mean you hijacking the thread...)  Some people subscribe to the thread they start and get email notifications when someone answers.

            They probably do not want to see all the hijacked input.

            Thank you for understanding.    :)

                Well-  diablo266 started this thread about his/her problem. CMB began to interface with the original poster after which others began to post about their problems. This is hijacking.

                Here CMB asked a new poster to post his own thread.

                Yet several came along and continued to hijack this same thread.

                Please start a new post with your problems.  My post was directed at the hijackers so if the shoe fits….    ;D

                  Okey - I have the same problem than diablo266 - should I start a new thread?

                    He says "where seemingly around 3-5am"  same symptoms?  (we're still hijacking here…)  If so then engage him and not the other hijackers.

                    But read the original post and if it really is identical then stick around.  If not, its not a big deal to start your own thread.  Just edicate.  (or however the hell you spell that.)  ;D

                      Were you trying to say: "Just elucidate" (ie. describe the problem more completely)?

                      Not trying to put anyone down - just hoping to add a little clarity -feel free to ignore me if you feel it's warranted….  ;)

                        Not if you actually have the same problem. At this point, this is a well-established known issue, and we don't need any further specifics as we have a replicable test case and are working on finding the root cause. Can follow here for updates:
